Are there any drivers I can add to make it better.
Before i got all the memory erased from my hard drive i was able to use the Project64 Emulator but now I can't. My hard drive is practically empty and i don't have a video card.
I just want to make my gaming better. Please don't tell me to get a video card because it's hard to find one compatible with my motherboard.

I currently have a Sony Vaio that is four years old and I am finding the processor isn't running as well as it used to with all the new programs I have been adding. I use it heavily for media including pictures and music, as well as video editing. I play games such as Sims 2, which I believe needs a high processor. What brand/model should I go with?

When I go into a website that offers a virtual tour, say of a hotel, etc, I can not get it to run or show - all I get is a box with a little red x in the upper left hand corner. I tried clicking on the x, etc and still can't get the tour. What do I need to do or what is missing from my software that won't allow me to see the tour.

So is Vista going to completely take over XP in the next few years?

Which should I get, I'm going to be going to college soon and I'm buying a laptop, I need one that I will be able to use, that will also be compatible with the other systems or word documents that the professors might use.

That's another question, I heard Vista has compatibility issues, with what exactly?


I don't want to buy a notebook with vista then end up having to uninstall it and buy XP because of the bugs and compatibility.

If I get XP and need vista in the coming years, how much will vista cost to buy?
